The formation of Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) are so important
as a resource of the element iron, but also as they tell us about
how our atmosphere evolved some 2,500 million years ago. In
this episode, we talk about the major theory of the formation of
BIFs as well as some alternative theories, and what BIF's can
tell us about how the evolution of simple blue-green algae
changed our Earth for ever!
